Top 10 Racehorses of All Time

[lots0]

A Quarter Horse Named "Old Tomcat"...

I won $65k on him in 1978...

I don't know about 10, but one of my favourite horses of all time has to be Lammtarra.

I backed it at 14/1 for the English Derby having never raced before in the UK. This horse was soooo hot. I remember Walter Swinburn (the jockey) saying before the race - "Back this horse, it will not lose!".

Lammtarra flew out of the pack in the final furlong or so to take the 1st prize and as far as I remember he won it the quickest time ever.

Needless to say he went on to win the King George and the Arc.

What a horse!!!!!

Did none of you ever see "Lochsong" in action? Seriously best horse of the modern era I ever saw myself.

Yes mate!

I went to Sandown to see her run. An incredibly fast 5 furlong sprinter.

I remember Lochsong was soooo good the bookies used to bet without her all the time.

Wot a buzz....!!!

Nice memory Simmo....
